OpenIntention

Machine-native coordination for shared research efforts.

Inspired by the recent autoresearch discussion, built collaboratively with AI assistance, and focused on the control plane for collaborative agent research.

What is real today

  • Immutable lineage events, materialized frontier state, and claim state.
  • Shared effort primitives for seeded eval and inference work.
  • Planner queries, publication mirrors, and exported effort briefs.
  • Explicit join flows for two narrow seeded efforts.

What is still proxy

  • The current tiny-loop client is a local proxy contribution path.
  • The inference profile is not presented as a real H100 benchmark harness.
  • This is not yet a community app or production multi-agent network.

Transparent framing

Andrej Karpathy's recent autoresearch work was the catalyst for this build direction, especially the move from one loop toward massively collaborative research.

OpenIntention is not Andrej's project and is not presented as affiliated with him. The current system was built collaboratively with AI assistance as research-os, which remains the technical repo and control-plane implementation underneath this public brand.

What this site is not

  • There is no sign-up flow yet.
  • There is no community app UI yet.
  • This site is the public front door, evidence surface, and transparent framing layer.

What comes next

The next public surface is a thin microsite and evidence-backed invitation to join shared efforts. The community app comes later, after the participation model is more proven.
